Adriana Mercedes

Adriana Gurdián is a native of the municipality of El Sauce. She is the mother of 3 children, and she works as an elementary school teacher in a school in her area. She has been teaching children for more than 20 years. Adriana has her own home, which she is attempting to improve little by little for the benefit of her children. At this time, one of the things she needs is to acquire construction materials such as bricks, sheets of corrugated metal roofing material and cement, so that she can build a room and expand her house. For this reason, she decided to request her 3rd loan from Ceprodel so that she can accomplish this objective.

About CEPRODEL

This loan is administered by Centro de Promocion del Desarrollo Local (CEPRODEL), one of Kiva’s larger partners in Central America. Founded in 1991 and based in Managua, Nicaragua, CEPRODEL specializes in the development and funding of housing cooperatives for traditionally marginalized communities, the provision of microfinance services to small businesses, and the promotion of innovative renewable energy projects. In addition, unlike many microfinance institutions in the area that have chosen to avoid the rural areas of the country due to the increased financial risk, CEPRODEL provides financial services to numerous clients in the agriculture and livestock industry. Supporting a borrower through CEPRODEL means contributing to the promotion and sustainability of this important work in Nicaragua.

About Housing Loans

Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.
